AceShowbiz - Harrison Ford revealed a first look at the upcoming "Star Wars" theme park in Disneyland during ABC's special "Disneyland 60" on Sunday night, February 21. The "Star Wars Experience" will hit both the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Harrison said in his introduction, "When I think about the potential of a movie, I think about this experience we all share. We go into a theatre - maybe we hit the jackpot, with comfy seats and a great sound system, we've got our popcorn and candy - the lights go down, the screen lights up, and we're taken on a journey for a couple of hours. And when it's over, if we're lucky, we come out and see the world a little different."
" 'Star Wars' is, for lack of a better word... awesome," the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" actor continued, "I'm so blessed that I had the opportunity to be a part of it. To walk in these iconic locations. And soon, you'll be able to do that as well. Not in a galaxy far, far away, but in a place close to home."
Harrison then played a video showing the new concept art of the "Star Wars Experience". The new park will include a virtual reality ride which allows guests to control the Millennium Falcon in an aerial battle with the First Order. Guests will also be able to encounter aliens and droids, as well as enjoying delicacies sold by local food vendors.
Harrison later introduced "Star Wars: Live in Concert" with BB-8 showing a clip from "The Force Awakens" and other "Star Wars" film series.
